PSA is measured on our PSA biomarker page, and every service is ranked on the best blood tests page.
What a PSA test measures
MedlinePlus says "a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a blood test that measures the level of PSA in a sample of your blood" and that it "is used to screen for prostate cancer" (MedlinePlus). The National Cancer Institute describes PSA as "a protein produced by normal, as well as malignant, cells of the prostate gland" and notes that "both prostate cancer and several benign conditions" can cause PSA levels to rise (NCI). This page covers price and where to order. What a result means for you is a question for your clinician.
PSA test price by seller
Prices read from each seller's own PSA page on November 8, 2026. Fee on top is what that seller adds beyond the list price.
| Seller | Test name on the page | List price | Fee on top | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Labcorp OnDemand | PSA Prostate Cancer Screening Test | $69.00 | None shown | Labcorp |
| Quest (questhealth.com) | Prostate Screening (PSA) Test | $69.00 | $6.00 physician service fee | Quest |
| Mito Health (non-member) | PSA, Total (2.5 ng/mL Cutoff) | $4.85 at Quest | Per-visit lab draw fee, $15 at Quest (its FAQ) | Mito |
Sellers whose PSA pages block automated readers (Request A Test and Ulta Lab Tests return a 403 to us) are left out rather than guessed. Check their own pages for a current figure, and compare fees, since a fee is charged per order or per visit, not per test. Adding other tests to the same order spreads it. For the same store-by-store method on other tests, see our Lp(a) cost guide and the no-insurance price hub.
Memberships such as Function Health and Superpower list PSA among their markers for some plans; our coverage table shows which, and price per measured marker compares them.
Who can order a PSA test without a doctor visit
Labcorp OnDemand says "a healthcare provider will review and approve your test requests; no healthcare provider visit is required," and that the test is for ages 18 to 100 and "must be taken by purchaser". Its page also says the test "is not intended for those who have undergone prostatectomy or those who have known prostate conditions" (Labcorp). Quest's page says the test "can be performed on male patients between 18 and 100 years old" (Quest).
Where you cannot order it
Quest says sample collection is not available in AZ, HI or PR. Mito says it is not available in HI, NJ, NY and RI. Lab-test stores generally do not sell in New York, New Jersey or Rhode Island; our state guide and ordering your own blood test explain the rules. Labcorp's page lists no state limit for this test.
Does Medicare or insurance cover a PSA test?
Medicare covers a PSA screening test "once every 12 months" for men over 50, starting the day after the 50th birthday, and "You pay nothing for the PSA blood test" (Medicare.gov, read 9 Nov 2026). If your doctor does not accept Medicare's set rate, you may pay a fee for the doctor's services, but not for the test itself. Private plans set their own rules, so ask your insurer. The sellers in the table above are self-pay.
Who should get a PSA test?
That is a decision to make with a clinician. The NCI summarizes the US Preventive Services Task Force view for men aged 55 to 69: "the decision to undergo periodic PSA-based screening for prostate cancer should be an individual one" (NCI). The same page says PSA-based screening "is not recommended for individuals 70 years and older." We do not advise on screening; we price the test.
Total PSA or free PSA?
"Free PSA" is not a no-cost test. It is the name of a separate lab test, and MedlinePlus lists it among the other names for PSA testing (MedlinePlus). The prices above are for total PSA, the usual screening test. If a clinician asks for free PSA as well, check that the product you buy includes it.
Preparing for the draw
MedlinePlus says "You will need to avoid having sex or masturbating for 24 hours before your PSA test," because releasing semen can raise PSA. Quest's page asks for longer: "Avoid ejaculation or vigorous exercise for at least 48 hours before sample collection for best results." Labcorp says no special preparation is needed. Follow the instructions of the seller you order from.
At-home PSA tests
Most PSA sellers above send you to a lab draw. At-home finger-prick kits exist, so read each product page for whether it is a screening kit and which lab runs it. We do not rank them for accuracy here; see how accurate at-home blood tests are.
Questions
FAQ
How much is a PSA test without insurance?
It depends on the seller and on the fee added at checkout. The table above lists each seller's list price, fee and source, read on November 8, 2026. Mito has the lowest all-in price we read once its draw fee is added, and Labcorp OnDemand shows no fee on top of its price.
Can I get a PSA blood test without a doctor?
Yes, through a lab-test store. Labcorp OnDemand says a healthcare provider reviews and approves the request and no visit is required. You then give a blood sample at a lab location. Stores do not sell in some states, listed above.
Is there a free PSA test?
Medicare pays the full cost of one PSA screening test a year for men over 50. We did not find a self-pay seller offering it at no cost. Note that "free PSA" is also the name of a separate lab test, not a price.
What is a free PSA test?
It is a separate lab test with a similar name, often ordered alongside total PSA. MedlinePlus lists "free PSA" among the names for PSA testing. The prices on this page are for total PSA, the usual screening test, so check the product name before you buy.
Does insurance cover a PSA test?
Medicare covers one screening PSA test every 12 months for men over 50 at no cost for the test. Private plans vary, so ask your insurer. The sellers above are self-pay, and Labcorp and Quest both say HSA or FSA cards are accepted. Our HSA and FSA guide lists each seller's own wording.
What is a normal PSA level?
Levels are reported by the lab, and what a result means depends on age, history and other factors. We do not publish target levels or interpret results. The NCI notes that benign conditions can also raise PSA, so a clinician should read any result.
Can I take a PSA test at home?
Labcorp, Quest and Mito use a blood draw at a lab location. At-home kits exist from other sellers; check which lab runs the sample and read the product page before buying. Compare every seller on the price page or the best blood tests page.
